Making for a very secure access when needed. These embedded versions come with a multitude of VPNs that I used to create distributed networks. Only recently my 15 year old router dies and I went to a TP-Link for a variety of reasons. And of course TP-Link is on the list of bad security routers. Why should I be surprised. Anyway, I miss the full on access to a linux system and all the flexibility it provided. One day I will go back to the embedded solution.
